1. Before You Begin Your new cable modem provides high-speed access to the Internet by an active Internet Connection through your cable service provider. This user guide describes how to set up and use the cable modem. Before installing the cable modem, you should read this user guide to ensure proper cable modem operation.
Prepare Your Area for Cable Modem Installation Before installing your cable modem, you should first prepare your area. To do this: 1. Locate your cable outlet and ensure that it is located within proper distance of your cable modem and computer. Be sure not to bend the cable as this may strain the connector and cause damage. 2.
Be sure to follow the instructions provided for the port that you want to use. Using the USB port allows you to install the cable modem more quickly and easily than using the Ethernet port, because you do not have to install and configure a network interface card (NIC). USB, however, only enables you to connect one computer to the cable modem. Using the Ethernet port allows you connect multiple computers to a cable modem through the use of additional equipment that is not included.

If the POWER, ENET, SYNC, and READY LEDs are solidly lit, the cable modem is working properly. Troubleshooting the Ethernet Installation None of the LEDs are on when I power on the Cable Modem. Check the connection between the power adapter and the cable modem. Power off the Cable Modem and wait for 5 seconds and power on the modem again.
communications with your cable service provider. • If your PC is connected to a hub or gateway, try connecting the PC directly into the cable modem. • If you are using a cable splitter, try removing the splitter and connect the cable modem directly to the cable wall outlet. Wait several minutes for the cable modem to re-establish communications with your cable service provider. • • Your Ethernet or coaxial cable may be damaged. Try using another cable.
4. Cable Modem LEDs and Connectors This chapter describes the functions of the cable modem’s LEDs and connectors. When the PWR, SYNC, and READY LEDs are lit, the cable modem is working properly. The USB or ENET LED should also be lit depending on what port is being used. The following provides an overview of the LED indicator lights on the front of the cable modem and what the LEDs mean.

NAT/Routing mode ¾ ip natroute enable Enable NAT and Routing simultaneously. Enable natroute will also enable DHCP automatically for NAT-private subnet. Default NAT-private subnet is 192.168.100.0/27. DHCP is disabled automatically on public subnet. Example: RIPv2 with MD5 authentication mode enable, key-string “abcdefg” Public subnet 24.30.206.0/29 • (5) Static Public IPs 24.30.206.2~24.30.206.6 • Gateway IP address 24.30.206.1 NAT-Private subnet 192.168.100.0/24 • (253) Dynamic Private IPs 192.168.
